Default Re: Civic Air intake question

So if that book guy is right... my HP should go from 160hp to 171.2 or
172.8 with a 7 to 8 percent increase. I'm thinking it would prob be more
like 165hp but either way it's good.

Weathers nice up here.... last week it didn't get above -20 celcius ...
makes for a CCCOOOLLLDDD start.
A major snowfall here is more then 12inches in one storm.
